swimmer25k Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Alex, Awesome job so far. Could you zoom in on your wings and give us some close-ups of you're doing the conversion? This is what has kept me from building my B-1s and I'm inspired by your work. Thanks, Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

black_widow Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Hi all Now I'm finishing aelerions. Hope they will be done this weekend. Then will make flaps from zero and last part will be slots - movable part will be simple, but wing part must be done from nothing. I'm tired from this work and not yet done, maybe an half. It takes every power from me.No fun, just work, work, work. So if u have any aelerons or flaps fotos please post here, coz DACO fotos not to mutch enough for me Best regards Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites

black_widow Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Hi all Everyone knows that the riveted joints are used in airplanes and their production is not difficult. But how to simulate the adhesive and weld connection in model aircraft ? :unsure: I tolk about this Best regards Alex Edited March 18, 2019 by black_widow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my favs are F`s Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Hi :)/> I remember this theme from a looong long time ago. Awesome assembly and details! The imitation of the "lines" - well, in this scale i think it`s still imitation-able simply with panel lines and wash. Maybe you can run the tip of the knife through the panel line, irregularly, to make the line slightly with rugged edges. And then the wash should stay not in a perfect flat line. PS: i didn`t try that before, it`s just like a brainstorm idea :)/> Oh, btw i got another one: with CA glue: with something like an attachment/nozzle to the bottle to make a veeery very thin line of glue. So thin that it should stay like a tiny little layer of glue above the plastic surface, instead of spreading through the surface or along the panel lines. Something like filling seamlines with CA glue, but above the flat surface of the plastic ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Major Walt Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 From the photo the lines are vey hard to see and I suspect they would be in 1/48 as well. You only see them up close. I would suggest found them in pencil, lightly with a very sharp point Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting idea, I think about it, but how to control the thickness and uniformity of the glue line which will leave? :D From the photo the lines are vey hard to see and I suspect they would be in 1/48 as well. You only see them up close. I would suggest found them in pencil, lightly with a very sharp point I thought, and decided to take the next option. When using a knife to make small indentation in the groove is filled with the adhesive is laid on top of the wire. Once dry, glue the wire is treated with the back of a knife. Here are just a wire diameter must be suitable diameter of 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0,7mm? Best regards Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Silenoz Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 in armor modelling, for simulating weldlines, they use streched sprue, glue it along the borders (tamiya extra thin, mek, or the like), make it softer with the same product and imprint the texture with the tip of a knife, screwdriver etc... afterwards you can make the textured surface more round by slightly sanding it and remove the burrs with an extra pass with the extra thin cement. that how I did my weld marks on a trumpeter E-100 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruiz Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Hello Alex As Silenoz suggested, stretched sprue give good results, here's an example in my hurricane build. Carve a line to serve as a guide and glue a piece of stretched sprue over it, using tamiya thin cement to soften, roll a toothpick over the sprue to give a subtle irregular look. You can control the desired effect by varying the depth of the guide and the thickness of the sprue. Hope this help, I'm following your excellent build with interest.
